[Another day, another Council-assigned investigative partner. If there's one thing emergencies are apparently good for, it's meeting new people. Michael still isn't convinced that teaming up is a very effective defense: at least a few of those taken from Solvunn were abducted as a group. He doesn't mind having a non-angel perspective on hand to consult with, however, so he doesn't fight the mandatory buddy rule.
There's already a small crowd of potential witnesses lined up by the side of the river. He's not convinced, either, that this procedure will do much to unlock hidden memories, but he assumes there must be more to the ritual than getting wet.
His companion in this exercise is someone he's never spoken to before now, but he's seen his face around the settlement before. Michael turns to him, arms crossed over his chest and expression impassive as they wait for the locals to start dunking themselves beneath the water.]
You're comfortable watching people near-drown themselves, right?
[Because it's too late to back out now, for the record. He's not going all the way back to town to find an alternate partner.]
